Media Reviews
A wonderful storyteller… she is also one of those rare crime writers whose books invite a second reading * Scotsman *
Hill's Serrailler novels have developed into a series whose appeal stretches beyond their genre... The secret of Hill's narrative style is that she forces the readers to invest emotionally in her characters. And then she makes ghastly things happen to them... It sounds easy, but it isn't * Spectator *
The Simon Serrailler novels are in a league of their own; literate, detailed and full of drama - they stand head and shoulders above the majority of crime novels. This is the eighth novel in the series and is the darkest and most disturbing yet. It is also the best. * CrimeSquad *
Kept me turning the pages, gripped * Woman & Home *
Although at times distressing, Hill tackles a difficult issue without losing any tension and the finale keeps the reader gripped until the last page * Sunday Express *
Never less than wholly absorbing * Church Times *
This is modern crime writing with a dark, fierce edge – and all the better for it * Daily Mail *
Keeps the reader gripped until the last page * Sunday Express *
Not all great novelists can write crime fiction but when Susan Hill does the result is stunning * Ruth Rendell *
Exhilarating… These books succeed in harnessing all the genre’s addictive power while maintaining a complexity and fascination entirely their own * Independent *
